UV/B benefits
Your health can benefit from – not more than 30 minutes a day – exposure to the Sun when it's high enough. The atmosphere only lets UV/B rays through when the Sun is above 50°.

Permissions
GPS Location
: the Sun's position highly depends on where on Earth you are. Few kilometers away and the sunset already a few minutes different. Don't worry about battery drain, the widget uses the last location if available. Only updates when the screen is on every 30 minutes; or when you tap it.
Background Location
: home screen widgets need to access location all the time in order to show up-to-date information.
Any feedback is warmly welcome and will be taken into consideration!
